Instructions for authors

The periodical Journal of Technical Physics presents original papers
which should not be published elsewhere.

The language of the journal is English. As a rule, the volume of a paper
should not exceed 40 000 typographic signs, that is about 20 type-written pages,
format: 210×297 mm, leaded. The papers should be submitted in two copies.
They must be set in accordance with the norms established by the
Editorial Office. Special importance is
attached to the following directions:

The title of the paper should be as short as possible.

The authors should enclose an abstract (summary) of the paper. The volume of
the abstract is to be about 100 words.

The text should be preceded by a brief introduction. It is also desirable
that a list of notations used in the paper should be given.

The formula number consists of two figures: the first represents the section
number and the other the formula number in that section. Thus the division into
subsections does not influence the numbering of formulae. Only such formulae
should be numbered to which the author refers throughout the paper, and also
the resulting formulae. The formula number should be written on the left-hand
side of the formula; round brackets are necessary to avoid any misunderstanding.
For instance, if the author refers to the third formula in the set (2.1),
a subscript should be added to denote the formula, viz. (2.1)3.

All the notations should be written very distinctly. Special care must be
taken to write small and capital letters as precisely as possible. Semi-bold
type should be underlined in black pencil. For special symbols or type-faces,
suitable explanations should be given on the margin of the manuscript.

It has been established to denote vectors by semi-bold type. Trigonometric
functions are denoted by sin, cos, tg and ctg,
inverse functions - by arc sin, arc cos,
arc tg and arc ctg; hyperbolic functions are denoted by
sh, ch, th and cth, inverse hyperbolic functions
- by Arsh, Arch, Arth and Arcth.

References in the text of the paper should be given by Arabic numerals in
square brackets. Items appearing in the reference list at the end of the
manuscript should include the initials of the first name(s) of the author and
his/her surname, and then the full title of the paper (in the original language
of the paper and in English). Moreover:

In the case of books, the publisher's name, the place and year of publication
should be given, e.g.,

1. S. Ziemba, Vibration analysis, PWN,
Warszawa 1970.

In the case of a periodical, the full title of the periodical, consecutive
volume number, current issue number (when needed), pages from ... to ...,
year of publication should be mentioned; the annual volume number must be in
semi-bold type-face or should be marked in black pencil so as to distinguish it
from the current issue number, e.g.,

Figures should be provided as camera-ready originals. The authors are kindly
requested to enclose the figures on diskettes, in separate files, in one of the
following formats: PostScript or EPS, WMF, EMF, JPG, GIF, PCX, TIFF or BMP.

Upon receipt of the paper, the Editorial Office
forwards it to the reviewer. His opinion is the basis for the
Editorial Office to determine whether
the paper can be accepted for publication or not.

The printing of the paper completed, the author receives 25 copies of reprints
free of charge. The authors wishing to get more copies should advise the
Editorial Office accordingly, not later than
the date of obtaining the galley proofs.

The papers submitted for publication in the journal should be written
in English. No royalty is paid to the authors.

Please send us, in addition to the typescript, the same text prepared on a
diskette (floppy disk) 3½'' as an ASCII file, preferably in the TeX or
LaTeX format, in Dos or Unix format.
